IO I can't find a bottle opener!!!

[Achtung_Bebe]

I want a Red Stripe now

How is it I can't find a single bottle opener in this hizous??

I've tried using a butter knife, didn't work.

I tried using my teeth, I think I now need to book a dentist appointment.

What is a girl to do in this situation?!?!

p.s. I'm a wee bit

maybe find a small tool and try to pry the cap open a little bit at a time. OR....use something with grasp, like a piece of rubber and twist hard.

yes, safety first

blah, forget it, I put it back in the fridge. I've successfully ruined a perfectly good butter knife and snapped a perfectly good rubber

 

[MsGiggles]

Use your teeth

 

[DrTeeth]

Just use another bottle.

 

[Achtung_Bebe]

I hadn't even remembered starting this thread last night

Use DrTeeth

That's a silly idea

It was the last bottle remaining actually. Nice strategic thinking though

you can use a counter top or any drawer and just place the cap on the edge and whack it downwards with your fist.

 

[Sly Stallone]

Just smash the bottle on the floor and then use a straw

This works well. I've done it that way a few times.

I've ruined a few hotel rooms doing this in my day

I'm the Keith Moon of interference. LOL

You could call the paramedics & see if they'd bring out the Jaws of Life for you. I mean, the last bottle of Red Stripe & no bottle opener? That IS an emergency.... to some folks.

Oh how true!

This does sound like a good idea I wonder if I could pull it off. I'm not always so smooth... I sometimes manage to plunge a cork rather than pop it.

Don't you have a nut cracker??

Don't you have a nut cracker??

oooo , I think I might!!

Well, I'm on campus now... when I get home I'll have to check 'n' see. If it works out, you've earned a Red Stripe.

wait n/m, there's only that one left.

 

[Mr. BAW]

Mr. BAW's always ready for a Red Stripe; I'll bring a straw...

 

[Sicy]

I've used my teeth before

 

[Carek1230]

You go, Sicy!!


I'd say now is the time to run out and buy a bottle opener and hang it on a string somewhere you won't forget. Or buy a couple of them, they're cheap. Then you won't have this problem again. But lots of good suggestions here!

 

[Dutch Partygirl]

Use a lighter. Grab the neck of the bottle with one hand, place the bottom of the lighter between your index finger and the cap and use the lighter to lift off the cap. Works for me. Or use a dinner knife...

we are a crafty group huh?

nothing will get inbetween us and a red stripe beer.

I know, I'm very impressed with all of these suggestions

I just managed to open the bottle using a heavy duty fingernail file. I'm enjoying my red stripe as I speak (err, type). Come ready with a straw in hand and you shall partake of the fruit of my labor

 

[Mr. BAW]

I was hoping you'd use your nut cracker......

 

[Achtung_Bebe]

yeeeah, I tried that first. I decided it should just stick to cracking nuts.

 

[Mr. BAW]

I come bearing gifts......

That's true for me.
